Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

The lobsters' claws opened and closed repeatedly, producing a low, harsh friction sound in the seawater. They swung their tail fins and slowly swarmed around the lobsters in a fan shape.

Through shared vision, Luo Xuan saw pale blue markings appearing on the opponent's greenish-blue carapace.

Meanwhile, these lobsters have long, thin spines standing upright on their carapaces, and their sharp claws gleam coldly.

"This should be the Bluethorn Lobster Man," Luo Xuan concluded. Because it was Azathoth's shared vision, Luo Xuan couldn't see any information about the other party.

In order to explore the sea, Luo Xuan had privately asked Shen Ce about a lot of information about the ocean, especially about the most common fish people and lobster people.

Besides the Maraku Lobster People who are subservient to the Naga, there are four other major clans within the entire Lobster People tribe.

They are the Blue-spined Lobster-men, with long, narrow shells covered in dense, sharp spines, and adept at cutting.

The Red Claw Lobster Man has a thick, rounded carapace, short and stout spines on its back, and its right claw is three to five times larger than its normally developed left claw.

The Ink Rock Lobster People live in the deep sea, have jet-black shells, and are adept at camouflage and ambush.

And then there are the colorful, patterned lobster people, who are skilled in using poisons and various water-based spells, and are an important force among the lobster people in resisting the Naga.

As for the Makula Lobster People who were subdued by the Naga, they were the largest in size and had thick skin and flesh.

Shortly after Luo Xuan identified the other party, the leader of the lobster-men suddenly swung his tail and launched a surprise attack.

The lobster-man's enormous claws tore through the water, carrying the ocean current as it slammed into Azathoth's torso.

Azathoth neither dodged nor evaded, but instead swung his thick arm and punched the lobster-man leader.

The lobster-man leader's claws sliced ​​open Azathoth's arm, but it didn't do much to Azathoth's effect.

"Bang!"

Azathoth's arms instantly reformed, and he slammed a punch into the lobster-man leader, who was still somewhat dazed.

The water flow violently churned up the mud and sand on the seabed, forming rings of turbid waves.

Taking advantage of the opponent's setback, Azathoth threw another punch, which slammed directly into the side of the lobster man's carapace, and fine cracks instantly spread out.

The gap in strength between the two sides is very obvious.

Seeing this, the other lobster-men quickly surrounded Azathoth, using their pincers to clamp down on his limbs.

However, Azathoth flipped and stirred the seawater, creating a powerful current that disrupted the enemy's formation.

Immediately afterwards, Azathoth lunged forward, grabbed a lobster-man's tail armor, and swung it violently.

Its heavy body crashed into a protruding reef on the seabed, its shell shattered, and after struggling for a few moments, it stopped moving.

The underwater battle lasted only a short while before the Greenthorn Lobster-men fell one after another.

Only two lobster-men remained, realizing they were outmatched. They hurriedly swung their tails and fled into the depths of the coral reef.

Just as Azathoth was about to continue the pursuit, Luo Xuan stopped him in time.

"Don't chase after them. First, explore the surrounding environment. Don't venture too far in rashly."

After all, they were in an unfamiliar marine environment. Although Luo Xuan understood the importance of seizing the opportunity, he would never act rashly.

Azathoth stopped his pursuit, then looked down at the wreckage, but found no useful supplies.

Azathoth then continued to explore, gradually venturing deeper into the area.

Along the way, the seaweed and coral on the seabed became more and more lush, and signs of fighting gradually began to appear in the mud and sand on the seabed.

Broken fish bones, shattered scales, and shells were scattered all around.

Azathoth continued to descend deeper, until the sunlight had completely disappeared from the seabed. The dark underwater world was only illuminated by some bioluminescent seaweed and shellfish.

Suddenly, a huge coral complex appeared in Azathoth and Luo Xuan's field of vision.

Countless passageways were carved out of natural reefs and parts of coral reefs, with a large number of lobster-like people patrolling back and forth between the passageways.

Luo Xuan understood that this was a stronghold of the Greenthorn Lobster Clan.

Luo Xuan did not act rashly, because at this point he was already very far from the coast and could not estimate his location.

So Luo Xuan made Azathoth transform into a stream of water and quietly rise to the surface of the sea, where it would then regroup.

Standing on the shore, Luo Xuan gazed in the direction of Azathoth and silently estimated that, even after accounting for the difference in elevation, the straight-line distance was at least 500 meters.

Having realized this, Luo Xuan recalled Azathoth and then moved to the other side to continue his exploration.

This time, Azathoth's exploration went even more smoothly than before, and he did not encounter any lobster people.

However, compared to the west side, the seabed environment on the south side is more complex, with various reefs scattered throughout, making it unsuitable for ships to land.

Exploring outwards along the seabed, Azathoth ventured a distance further after passing through the reef area.

Ultimately, two merfolk camps were discovered on the south side.

Based on the information scouted by Azathoth, Luo Xuan simply drew a rough sketch on the mudflats, and then placed three stones at approximate intervals to represent the lobster man camp and two fish man camps.

The good news is that Luo Xuan has found a new monster-hunting spot; the bad news is that only Azathoth can go down to the bottom of the sea.

Leaving aside the gray wolves and the other grunts, Lilith is also fire-oriented and not good at underwater combat.

Those that need upgrading can't be upgraded, and those that can be upgraded don't need upgrading anymore. This is what's troubling Luo Xuan.

The first solution Luo Xuan came up with was to have Azathoth lure the monster underwater and bring it to land to deal with it.

However, this creates a new problem: the initiative shifts to the opponent.

It might be fine at first, but after a few times, the opponent will definitely become wary and won't fall for it again.

Even though the lower-level fishmen and lobster people are not very intelligent, they should not be regarded as fools.

The second method is to use one enemy to devour another, letting the fishmen and lobster people fight each other, while Luo Xuan has Azathoth wait on the sidelines for an opportunity to strike.

Previously, at the bottom of the sea, Luo Xuan saw many broken scales and bones from Azathoth's perspective.

Some of them have been there for a long time, while others still have some flesh and blood clinging to them, making them look like they were from not long ago.

This means that the fish-men and lobster-men are aware of each other's existence and have had conflicts before.

If Luo Xuan can find a way to provoke a battle between the two, the chances are still quite good.

Luo Xuan considered the pros and cons of the two plans and felt unsatisfied with either one.

After thinking for a while, Luo Xuan still couldn't come up with a good solution. He decided to log off and have dinner first, and then check the forum for any new information, hoping to find some inspiration.

Back in reality, Luo Xuan ate the dry rations he had prepared while picking up his phone and opening a group chat.

Seeing that everyone was talking about the undead around their territory, Luo Xuan also posted a comment.

"I already have troops from the Falling Moon Canyon on my side, led by a centurion, so there shouldn't be any problems."
